Its complexity and age-worthiness make it a contemplative wine for connoisseurs. Older wines like this can be quite fragile, so handle the bottle with care. Stand it upright for several days before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Decanting is recommended for 3-4 hours to allow the wine to open up and separate from sediment, but be mindful of its age; very old wines can sometimes fade quickly after prolonged aeration. Check the cork carefully when opening, as older corks can be brittle. 🍴 Duck, goose, and game birds are classic pairings for this wine. It also pairs exceptionally well with roasted lamb, mushroom dishes, and mature, earthy cheeses.
